Justices questioning a litigant, 1984

The Supreme Court of Hverland (Hverlandic: Hæstaréttur hverlands) is the pinnacle of the nation's judiciary and serves as the ultimate arbiter of justice in the country. Functioning on the principles of Nordic law, the court plays an essential role in preserving civil liberties and ensuring the rule of law in Hverland.

Structure

Composed of seven justices, who are appointed by the President of Hverland, the Supreme Court stands as the highest judicial authority in the nation. Appointments are generally made on the recommendation of the independent Judicial Appointments Board (Dómnefndatilnefningarnefnd), emphasizing the court's separation from the legislative and executive branches of government.

Functioning

The primary duty of the Supreme Court is to hear and adjudicate appeals from lower courts, offering the final word on both factual and legal matters. The court operates on the principles of due process, equality before the law, and the right to a fair trial. Decisions are rendered according to existing legal precedent and statutory law, all of which are guided by the overarching values encapsulated in Hverland's constitution.

Artificial intelligence

In alignment with Hverland's status as a technologically advanced nation, the Supreme Court has also integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its operations. While AI assists in administrative tasks, legal research, and data analysis, rigorous regulations are in place to ensure that the use of technology does not compromise judicial independence, impartiality, or transparency.
